I use the Mophie Juice Pack. I would say that if you are a regular user of 
GPS apps, some kind of supplementary power source is pretty much mandatory.

Allen,

The Seeing Eye GPS app announces intersection  just like the Maestro or 
Breeze do. I used to own a Maestro and later had MobileGeo which basically 
is the same but was designed for the old Windows Mobile platform and one 
thing I found even then when the information was updated was that a lot of 
POI's that the Trekker announced were not actually correct or even there 
any more. It seemed it was using outdated information even back then and 
given how fast businesses change these days I would guess that in most 
cases the POI information nowadays is pretty useless. I think here 
accessing online maps which get updated much more often is the way to go.

It will depend on your needs.  If you are going to be out and about all 
day long and require a GPS system, then you would be better off with a 
Trekker and save your battery power for your iPhone.  The GPS in the 
iPhone will really suck up the battery.  On the other hand, if you just 
want a GPS app for just in case, then an iPhone GPS app will probably due. 
The Trekker however uses maps with more points of interest then some of 
the GPS apps and offers announcement of each street your passing by such 
as Jones street on your left or 3 way crossing.  Jones street on your 
left, Smith road in front and Jones street on your right.  This tells you 
that Jones street runs left and right and it assumes you know the street 
your already on.  Far more detailed then many iPhone apps.  So again, it 
will depend on your needs which way will be the best.

2014-10-17 Thread Charles Rivard 
The streets themselves don't change much, but business locations, or whether 
they still exist, do change.  So, if I'm looking for a point of interest 
such as a seafood restaurant, and there are several, and I choose to go to 
one, it's really not good to get there and find a shoe store instead, or to 
find that the restaurant no longer exists.  It closed down 5 years ago. 
Also, routes from one city to another, or from one state to another that are 
plotted may no longer be feasible due to road construction or demolition 
within the last few years.

maps, although available from the Sendero Group, cannot be updated for the

have not been updated since 2008.  To me, this is not acceptable,

I guess I'm lucky in that I still have my Maestro Trekker and my Trekker 
breeze.  Although Humanware no longer supports the Maestro Trekker and 
hasn't for some time, the streets haven't changed in Las Vegas or at least 
where I live.  I last used the Trekker/Maestro 6 or so months back to get to 
my doctor's appointment.  He's around 20 miles from me.  I was looking for 
his address in Maestro and found a previous route I had created.  My sighted 
wife followed the instructions I was giving her from Maestro.  One thing it 
can do is previous and next instruction so when she says what is the next 
instruction I can easily give her that information as well as to review the 
route with out even leaving the house.

The other huge advantage was, you could choose which GPS receiver you wanted 
and weren't stuck with what they gave you.

I do not know if the trekker breeze has this capability, so I can't honestly

Re: trekker vs. apps?

2014-10-17 Thread Alan Paganelli 
It will depend on your needs.  If you are going to be out and about all day 
long and require a GPS system, then you would be better off with a Trekker and 
save your battery power for your iPhone.  The GPS in the iPhone will really 
suck up the battery.  On the other hand, if you just want a GPS app for just in 
case, then an iPhone GPS app will probably due.  The Trekker however uses maps 
with more points of interest then some of the GPS apps and offers announcement 
of each street your passing by such as Jones street on your left or 3 way 
crossing.  Jones street on your left, Smith road in front and Jones street on 
your right.  This tells you that Jones street runs left and right and it 
assumes you know the street your already on.  Far more detailed then many 
iPhone apps.  So again, it will depend on your needs which way will be the best.

Alan

This is one benefit of the Seeing Eye app for the iDevices.  If maps were 
updated 2 minutes before you opened the app, you will be using the updates 
and the maps don't take up any of your storage space.  The down side, 
though, is that you need to be in an area where you have coverage..

I think that the map program for the PC that Sendero puts out is very good 
for planning a route before leaving home or seeing what's around you in the 
way of points of interest.


I always thought that the way you have to enter addresses into a Trekker 
Breeze is clunky.  I don't like the method of using the numbers on a 
telephone-like keypad to represent letters; 2 being A, B and C, 3 being D, 
E, F, and so on.  This is how data is entered into credit card terminals 
when programming them, which I did for 9 years for Discovercard, so I know 
how to do it, but I still find it cumbersome and bothersome.

I used to have a Trekker Maestro with the HP iPaq PDA (late 2007 and 2008)

RE: trekker vs. apps?

2014-10-16 Thread M. Taylor 
Hello David,  

I like them both.  

I use several GPS solutions on my iPhone but I also use the Trekker Breeze
and would never willingly consider giving it up.  

To me, neither is better than the other--it's just a matter of preferences
and circumstance.

It may be an unfair question, but how do any of the Iphone gps apps compare
to the current Trekker?

Re: trekker vs. apps?

2014-10-16 Thread Charles Rivard 
For the most part, I would prefer a good and reliable app over having to 
carry a second device which is usually extremely expensive.  While I do 
have, and really like, the GPS utility for the Pac Mate that is sold by


www.freedomscientific.com

called "street talk", the major drawbacks are the cost and the fact that 
maps, although available from the Sendero Group, cannot be updated for the 
Street Talk utility due to the Pac Mate firmware restrictions.  The maps 
have not been updated since 2008.  To me, this is not acceptable, 
considering the approximate $1,600 cost.  I feel very short changed.

RE: trekker vs. apps?

2014-10-16 Thread Richard Turner 
In my opinion, the combination of BlindSquare and Google Maps or Apple Maps
or Navigon wins hands down over the Trekker Breeze.

Your map data is updated far more often, the iPHone isn't as effected by
heavy cloud cover, which depending on where you live can have a huge impact.
Then there is the cost .

 

Again, just my opinion,

Richard

Re: trekker vs. apps?

2014-10-16 Thread Chuck Dean 
I had one of the old maestro/_Trekker combinations in a Hewlett-Packard PDA 
many years ago. Although many of the GPS apps work very well on the iPhone, I 
still think the Trekker was very superior to all of them. The one thing that I 
really liked about the trekker, you could virtually walk a Route.  This was 
especially helpful when I moved  and had to learn the town. I sat in my house 
and just basically .walk around town learning where everything was at. It was 
awesome!
I do not know if the trekker breeze has this capability, so I can't honestly 
evaluate which is better.

I owned both trekkers and now use Blindsquare and think it ar superior to the 
trekkera.  The GPS receiver is much more accurate and holds on much longer.
